Alamo Update

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

i'm the human tornado!

Big news, people: AICN and the Alamo have arranged a special screening of Ratatouille hosted by Patton Oswalt this coming Monday. If you’ve read this blog in the past, you know I’ve been kissing Patton’s funny ass for years. Last night, at Hostel II, Tim announced that the second film on the bill Monday will be one of Mr. Oswalt’s new favorites, The Foot Fist Way. Screw the family fun stuff…Jody Hill, Danny McBride, and company have been making wonderful films ever since back in the day. You’ll hear about how awesome it is after the fact … and then feel like poop. Be there, people! I’m not asking nicely. I’m telling you…BE THERE! Support young talented filmmakers! Especially the ones that inspired me back in film school. Don’t believe me, check out some scenes here.

But before I can even get excited about seeing Fist/Foot, Jamaa Fanaka will be in town, live and in person, to present two of his classics: Welcome Home Brother Charles, and PENITENTIARY! Lars puts it best: “Director Jamaa Fanaka specializes in the smuggler’s approach to socially relevant film-making. He’ll sneak some serious shit past you like a jailhouse shiv while you’re looking the other way. ” Once again, I’m not asking you nicely to be there. I wish the Alamo turned 10 every month.

Check back soon to see Eli Roth getting his ass spanked with a cookie sheet. It really is something else and it needs to be shared with the world.

It’s been a long week, but it’s done. You can check out my submission for the SXSW Grindhouse Trailer Contest here (NSFW). Thanks to Josh K & Josh D, Chad, Deb, Buzz, Anne, Annie, James, Elliott, Robert, Jean, Angela, the staff of the Alamo Downtown, Tim D & the original Alamo Basement Mondo Tees. Also thanks to Lance for waiting an extra week for his new trailer. Peep the lovely 16mm Blue Ridge photography by Drew here.

If you want to watch more SXSW trailer submissions check out Ain’t It Cool News. You’ve just gotta see Hobo With A Shotgun. Death Maiden has great production value, and Cong of The Dead is just plain awesome. And when you’re done go rent Visiting Hours from the local video store. Anchor Bay, another reason to say Yes! To Michigan!

Snow Angels

Since 301 didn’t turn over enough ducats in profit during the last quarter of ‘06, we’re doing all our Sundance reporting from Austin Texas. Yee-Ha! If you thought we were all pretty sad we couldn’t go last year and support the Fist Foot Way, we’re extra sad this year that we can’t see Snow Angels.

Snow Angels is the new film by Dave Green. I can’t say David Gordon Green’s name without mentioning both George Washington and All The Real Girls. I also can’t mention his name without thinking of Big sitting in a bathtub of ground chuck. He has also directed some cool Truth ads.

I know next to nothing about Snow Angels, but I’m really happy Dave has a new movie coming out. Can’t wait to see me some Tim Orr photography on the Alamo’s perfect silver screen. I can feel the colors pimp slapping me now. David Wingo on the soundtrack. Yeah! I hope it screens during SXSW.

And that’s the 301 Sundance report from Austin, Texas.

Sexy!
